Our sampler this year is from the book Park Bench by Jaybird Quilts. Use the Hex and More and Sidekick rulers for amazing accuracy. You can order the book and rulers HERE.
We've made this amazing quilt in three different colorways. I love how fabric choices give the quilts an entirely different look.
